We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool gives confidence that our configuration is safe.""The tool's performance is good."

More Amazon Macie Pros →

"The data-at-rest features are the most valuable because they let us identify data infected with ransomware and prevent employees from being exploited through phishing attacks. If an employee is compromised, the attacker can access servers and deposit ransomware. This enables the attacker to exfiltrate data remotely using employees' credentials. It might be valuable data that could cause a business reputational and financial damage if stolen and publicized. It could also be credit card data or personal health information stored on critical servers.""Technical support is very professional and responsive.""The dashboard, management section, and reporting are good.""The most valuable feature is file-level DLP.""I have found the most valuable feature to be partial enlisting.""The product helps with blocking sensitive data transmission and permission management.""The Network Monitor component is the most advanced on the market. Combined with the other Network DLP components.""We work in the banking field. We deploy data loss prevention. Our branch protects our clients' data, credit card numbers, account numbers, and other confidential and sensitive data."

More Amazon Macie Cons →

"Symantec DLP doesn't provide complete cloud coverage. We need another DLP solution to monitor our cloud applications.""There is room for improvement in the remote control capabilities of the DLP solution.""That fine tuning has to be done for the customer as well as the vendor. So if I take Symantec DLP, we have to have some final fine tuning but we may need some time developing this depending on the customer. This is an area where something can be done to improve the product.""The product must improve its interface.""Symantec could be better with infrastructure.""I would like for the administrator management interface to improve. It's kind of old and slow. Updating it would make this solution better.""The product's technical support services need improvement.""The enforce service is difficult to understand, and free courses made available on the internet would be useful."

    Overview

    Amazon Macie is a security service that uses machine learning to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data in AWS. Amazon Macie recognizes sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII) or intellectual property, and provides you with dashboards and alerts that give visibility into how this data is being accessed or moved. The fully managed service continuously monitors data access activity for anomalies, and generates detailed alerts when it detects risk of unauthorized access or inadvertent data leaks. Amazon Macie is available to protect data stored in Amazon S3.

    Keeping sensitive corporate information safe and compliant has never been easy. But today, you’re faced with a totally new set of data protection challenges. Sensitive information is leaving the safety of your corporate network as more employees share files over consumer cloud storage services and access those files on their own mobile devices. The number of targeted cyber attacks continues to grow, as cybercriminals develop effective new methods for defeating traditional security measures and stealing corporate information. And as all of these factors converge, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage corporate information and protect it against loss and theft. 

    Symantec Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides a comprehensive approach to information protection that embraces today’s cloud- and mobile-centered realities. With DLP, you can:

    • Discover where data is stored across all of your cloud, mobile, network, endpoint, and storage systems

    • Monitor how data is being used, whether your employees are on or off the network

    • Protect data from being leaked or stolen—no matter where it’s stored or how it’s used
